Makes No Sense At All

Update May 1, 2009: I’ve had sufficient response by now, and to keep things manageable for me I will not accept additional testers at point.

Coding for version 1.3 of MPoD has finished and I’ve done significant testing so far. Because this version has lots of internal changes, I would like to have additional testing done before releasing it into the AppStore. If you’re interested in assisting with the testing of this new version of MPoD, then you can drop me a message at info at katoemba dot net, or by replying to this post.

Today version 1.0.3 of RitMeester has been released. In the Netherlands, when you have a lease-car the tax authorities will add up to 25% of the car value to your gross salary. If you use your car for personal travel less than 500 kilometers per year, you can get a ‘Verklaring geen privé gebruik’ from the tax authorities. Condition is that you maintain detail records of all car travel. RitMeester is the first Mac based program that helps you to keep a detailed and consistent administration, with minimum effort.

This version fixes the problem where an administration document can’t be saved because of an ‘lastDrive is niet geldig’ error.

Some people seem to be surprised that the MPoD screenshots on iTunes say ‘T-Mobile’. Well, in the Netherlands T-Mobile has the exclusive rights to the iPhone, so these images are not from a jailbroken iPhone.

For a developer, some of the reviews and 1* ratings on the AppStore are actually very discouraging: unsubstantiated hints of illegal practices, people who are apparently to dumb to read or understand what’s written in the description and then question the usefulness or functioning of an application .

I’ve installed the iwphone plugin onto my website, so if you’re visiting here from an iPhone or iPod Touch you should get an improved user experience.
